I gave been given the lengths radical 18, and 3. I have tried multiplying both radical 18 and 3 by radical 3 (to find the longer leg), but I been so far unsuccessful in doing so. I also have tried multiplying both numbers by 2 to find the hypotenuse. Please tell me what I should do to solve this problem. Thank you. </SPAN>\n" );
